can't stop find-grep-dired nohow

Gentlemen, do a find-grep-dired on an inordinately large file tree,
and then regret it and try to stop it with all the lucky keys you know,
C-c C-k C-c C-c C-g C-g C-g C-g C-g C-g C-c C-c C-c C-k
Well, you had better get to another X window and do 'killall find'.

Nah.  M-: (kill-process) RET

Although the fact that it's not a command (that could be run via M-x or a
mode-specific key) could be considered a bug.
